A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
科技
Technology
I remember the difficulty we had in the beginning replacing magnetic cores in memories and eventually we had both cost and performance advantages. But it wasn't at all clear in the beginning.
我记得我们在开始替换内存中的磁芯时遇到的困难，最终我们在成本和性能上都有优势。但一开始并不清楚。
Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully.
香槟，如果你在寻找真相，比测谎仪更好。它鼓励男人大胆，甚至鲁莽，而测谎仪只是成功说谎的一个挑战。
It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.
它反映了一个普遍存在的神话，即生产技术并不比热力学、原子结构或生物遗传定律更能顺应人类的判断或社会利益。
I understood the importance in principle of public key cryptography but it's all moved much faster than I expected. I did not expect it to be a mainstay of advanced communications technology.
我理解了公钥密码学原理的重要性，但它的发展速度远远超过了我的预期。我没想到它会成为先进通信技术的中流砥柱。
The kind of environment that we developed Google in, the reason that we were able to develop a search engine, is the web was so open. Once you get too many rules, that will stifle innovation.
我们开发谷歌的环境，我们能够开发搜索引擎的原因，是网络是如此的开放。一旦你制定了太多的规则，就会扼杀创新。
At our computer club, we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone, and give us power, and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff.
在我们的电脑俱乐部里，我们说这是一场革命。电脑将属于每个人，给我们力量，把我们从拥有电脑的人那里解放出来。
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
我们不应该建立一种技术来给人们所说的话涂上颜色或涂上灰色。媒体总体上是平衡的，尽管有许多问题需要解决，但媒体正确地关注这些问题。
Here you have a new technology, and if that technology is going to work, you must allow people to provide central indexes of the data. It's just like a newspaper that publishes classified ads.
这里有一项新技术，如果这项技术要发挥作用，就必须允许人们提供数据的中心索引。它就像一份刊登分类广告的报纸。
I imagine a future aircraft, which will take off vertically, fly as usual, and land vertically. This flying machine should have no moving parts. This idea came from the huge power of cyclones.
我想象未来的飞机，垂直起飞，像往常一样飞行，垂直降落。这架飞行器应该没有运动部件。这个想法来自飓风的巨大威力。
You know, my first three or four drafts, you can see, are on legal pads in long hand. And then I go to a typewriter, and I know everybody's switching to a computer. And I'm sort of laughed at.
你知道，我的前三、四稿，你可以看到，都是在长时间的法律拍纸簿上。然后我去打打字机，我知道每个人都在用电脑。我被嘲笑了。
Our technological infrastructure alienates us from each other. No need to form a workplace community, everybody there will be out in a year or two, and so will you, looking for a better place.
我们的技术基础设施使我们彼此疏远。没有必要建立一个工作场所社区，每一个人都会在一两年后离开，你也会，寻找一个更好的地方。
There really was nothing like it at the time. We had good ideas for implementation, so we proceeded. I think it was an excellent solution to the reliability issues with existing search engines.
那时候真的没有比这更好的了。我们有很好的实施想法，所以我们继续。我认为这是一个很好的解决现有搜索引擎可靠性问题的方案。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.
信息技术的最大好处是它使人们能够做他们想做的事情。它让人们变得有创造力。它让人们更有效率。它让人们学习他们以前认为自己学不到的东西，所以从某种意义上说，这一切都是关于潜力的。
Wouldn't it be great if the technology we used to take care of ourselves was as good as the technology we use to make money?
如果我们用来照顾自己的技术和我们用来赚钱的技术一样好，那不是很棒吗?
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
对于一项成功的技术，现实必须凌驾于公共关系之上，因为自然是不会被愚弄的。
You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It's logic-based creativity.
你可能不认为程序员是艺术家，但编程是一种极具创造性的职业。它是基于逻辑的创造力。
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
我们拥有的，而机器没有的，是展示智慧的能力。
Every contrivance of man, every tool, every instrument, every utensil, every article designed for use, of each and every kind, evolved from a very simple beginnings.
人类的每一项发明、每一件工具、每一件仪器、每一件器物、每一种为使用而设计的物品，都是从非常简单的开始发展起来的。
